The social structure of Iran has long been defined by the repression of women, particularly in recent decades. However, significant cracks have begun to form in this framework, especially following the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, which sparked the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement. This movement has inspired many women to boldly challenge compulsory veiling, thus transforming the societal landscape. This project documents two influential groups of women: the first comprises pioneering figures who exemplify the mantra “I can, if he can,” proving that many traditional barriers can be overcome. These role models have served as a foundation, instilling courage in younger generations of women. The second group includes Generation Z girls who break societal taboos in both family and public spheres. Together, these women are reshaping the architectural identity of their society, striving to liberate themselves from outdated traditions and create a more vibrant, modern community that embraces freedom and equality.
